I go to the car wash and with light pressure rinse the motor off, then I spray simple green over everything and shut the hood (let it steam due to the engines heat), wash the rest of the car then pop the hood and rinse the motor off with light pressure. wipe dry and follow up with armour all wipes.

Spraying a hot motor with water can potentially warp the heads! No bueno! ALWAYS make sure the motor is COLD when spraying it with water!
Also.... be carefull when goin at it with a pressure washer or even a hose! Especially when using engine degreaser! Electrical parts can be severely damaged!
And NEVER...... EVER.... useArmour All! [:'(] All that does is attract dirt and dust! [:'(]clean it once with engine degreaser if it is really dirty... then just wipre it down with some degreaser and a towl when you wash your car to keep it tidy!
